@@gregwolfe4950 I feel like supercross should be interesting. Just need some of these guys to get off the start good. If Jett is always up front off the start, it's going to be a long year for everyone else. As far as motocross goes, hard to imagine anyone beats him if he's healthy. Could still be interesting though with Prado, Sexton and Tomac.
One thing you didn't mention is that you have to win a NATIONAL championship to be able to get a 1 digit number. 250 Supercross championships are considered regional and therefore, title winners are not eligible for a 1 digit number. Only 450 champions and 250 Motocross champions can get a 1 digit number. Hence why Tom Vialle and RJ Hampshire can't get one.
Ricky Johnson come back after gatorback mishap broke wrist #13 not a stellar year came back to soon unfortunately. Orlando round broke a chain over triple no crash 13 😢
hold on, how come up Vialle got the career number and guys like Hymas, Brown, Swall were appointed with a number ? They finished top 10 last season, didn't they ?
It is still an absolute joke that regional 250 SX riders earn overall points for their numbers. Yeah, they race less races, but the evidence in how wrong it is is the numbers that the 250 guys earn compared to the 450 guys. Excluding career numbers, 15 of the riders in 1-50 are on 250's while only 6 are on 450's... It is much more difficult to score points in the 450 class versus the 250 class. It should be reflected in their earned numbers. It makes sense that there should be more 250 guys with triple-digit numbers...
250 MX you're allowed to get a single didget number because it's a national Championship... That's how AP got #7, someone who has only 1 450 career win.
@@stephenadams5223 yeah I was wondering if he would before he took 38, I can't believe 8 has been open for as long as it has. There are so many people who could've taken 8. I'm sure it will happen soon. 5 is also open and 9 will be open again soon.
Who are you most excited to see race in 2025?

@BenPiggin could end up being a championship contender if he can stay consistent
@@motofevermedia1 yes mate i hope he does ,he's one of the most down to earth riders in the paddock.
I’m most excited to see if anyone can beat Jett. Next would be how Forkner will do. Please Austin just stay on the bike.

I’m a Jett fan so would love to see him win again BUT as a super cross fan I’d love to see others get into the mix and make it interesting
@antechinuz exactly, I have my preferred riders as well but more than anything I just want to see a good race
Austin just needs to finish all the races. Forget trying to win.
This was great! Ive often wondered how the numbers work, im still a bit confused but i get the jist of it.
Glad to help, feel free to ask any questions about anything you're still confused about.
Thanks mate, I won't have to google number changes this year.

Always wondered! Cool!
@@peggyannwalker7971 glad we were able to clarify it for you!
Fred Vialle had some of his best races riding #16 and #161 Him and Tom have a lot more in common than Tom and Marvin.
Good insight, I didn't know that
Drew Adams must be pissed. Bro doesnt get to run a 3 digit number because he got to nany points and now has to run #98.😅
